2. Sinner, Come Home!

1 The Saviour is tenderly calling,
Make haste, His forgiveness receive;
The Spirit may leave you forever;
Oh, come to Him now and believe;
Your life without Christ brings destruction,
Then why don’t you trust and obey;
While Jesus is waiting to save you?
Come, sinner, come home while you may!

Refrain:
He’s calling, He’s waiting,
Decide no longer to roam;
Surrender your life to His keeping;
Come home, O sinner, come home!

2 The Saviour is patiently waiting,
His bountiful love to bestow;
Although you’re the chief of all sinners,
His blood washes whiter than snow;
He left all the glories of heaven,
Redeemed you and paid all the cost,
By dying on Calvary’s mountain,
He ransomed your soul from the lost. [Refrain]

3 The moments are rapidly passing,
Tomorrow you may be too late;
He offers this priceless Salvation,
A new heart in you He’ll create;
Oh, come, there is mercy and pardon,
From sin and its follies be free;
Repent while the Saviour is calling,
Decide now for eternity. [Refrain]
